Adam – Geva Binyamin
Adam (also known as Geva Binyamin) is an urban-style yishuv located in southern Binyamin, a five-minute drive from Jerusalem. There are currently 1,300 families living in Adam from across the spectrum of Israeli society.
Officially, the yishuv was named Geva Binyamin after the city of Kohanim that was located in the portion of the tribe of Binyamin during the period of the Judges. But the local residents continue to refer to the yishuv as “Adam.” Today, this is one of the largest yishuvim in Binyamin, attracting many young couples due to its proximity to Jerusalem and comfortable living conditions. There are many private detached homes in Adam, as well as apartments and multi-family homes. This is a mixed yishuv where secular, religious, and ultra-Orthodox Jews live together as good neighbors.
